Answer:

{10}^{th}  \: term  =  \frac{5}{512}

Step-by-step explanation:

geometric progression formula:

{n}^{th} \:  term  = ar ^{n - 1}

given:

common ratio, r = 1/2

first \: term \:  = 5

1) find the value of a

{n}^{th}  \: term \:  = a {r}^{n - 1}

we're finding the 1st term, so substitute 1 into n:

{1}^{st}  \: term  = a( \frac{1}{2} ) {}^{1 - 1}

first term is 5. so we substitute 5 into the equation:

5 = a(1)

a = 5

2) find the 10th term

we're finding the 10th term, so substitute 10 into the equation and don't forget to substitute 5 into a:

{10}^{th}  \: term  = 5( \frac{1}{2} ) {}^{10 - 1}

{10}^{th}  \: term  = 5( \frac{1}{512} )

{10}^{th}  \: term =  \frac{5}{512}

Solve 2x+y=7 for y what is y ?
masha68 [24]
You cant solve y but you can form an equation in terms of y
which is y=7-2x

if you were given another equation that has the term y and x than you can solve it.also that is a simultaneous equation.

Hope this helps,dont forget to put this as the brainliest answer if it does to help me out too. xD

Angle 4 would also be 135. the two on the top would add to 180, making a whole circle altogether that equals 360. so, you would do 180-135 = 45. angle 5 is 45. angle 7 would also be 135 because angle 4 and 7 are vertical angles.
